1. The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab. An important site in
the early development of LISP; with the MIT AI Lab, BBN, CMU, XEROX PARC,
and the Unix community, one of the major wellsprings of technical
innovation and hacker-culture traditions (see the
WAITS entry for details). The SAIL machines were
shut down in late May 1990, scant weeks after the MIT AI Lab's ITS cluster
was officially decommissioned.

2. The Stanford Artificial Intelligence Language used at SAIL (sense
1). It was an Algol-60 derivative with a coroutining facility and some new
data types intended for building search trees and association lists.
